Regret, Guilt, Worry – How To Overcome Negative Emotions

/in , , , , , /by

Can you recall a time when something in your life didn’t go right?  Do you wish things would have turned out differently and now you have regrets over it?  You’re not alone – many people feel this way – including myself.

I have been such a planner all my life that it was difficult for me to stay in the present moment. I can recall many circumstances where I was always reaching or looking over the fence. I didn’t know how to enjoy or appreciate what was right in front of me. I know this has caused me to miss out on a lot.

So yes, I have regrets, but it’s not wise to live there. The problem is that regret is like carrying around heavy baggage – it’s a heavy load to carry.  All that heavy energy can get in the way and tangled up in other emotions of guilt and worry – not a healthy combination.

What we want is to be able to create new energy to move forward.

Here are three tips to help you let go of the past and live in the present.

Tip # 1:  Show Yourself  A Little Love

How would you show love to someone you cared for who was going through a difficult time?  Compassion and empathy are two words that pop into mind.  Try doing the same for yourself.  We’re human and we are going to make mistakes – that’s part of life.  One of the biggest gifts you can give yourself is to treat yourself kindly.  Forgiveness is another important aspect to creating new energy – we’re not perfect beings and that’s okay.  Beef up the love.

Tip #2:  Keep The Faith

We don’t always understand the “bigger” picture in life – the “grand” scheme of things.  Although we wish we had a crystal ball to see into the future – the truth is we don’t really know what tomorrow may bring.  This is why we need to keep the faith alive and trust in GOD – or in other words, the Grand Overall Design.  Knowing that in time, all things will get better.

Tip #3:  Make It A Learning Experience

It’s so easy to get caught up in the moment of what didn’t go right, that we neglect to see what else happened in that experience.  Usually there are little golden nuggets if we look close enough to learn from the situation and make us better for it.    So the question is, What can you learn from a past experience that can make you better today?

Bonus Tip:

Remember, you don’t want to pull that heavy load a minute longer – here’s how to draw the line when you’re dwelling in the past on all that negativity.  You simply need to remember to LEAVE IT IN THE PAST.  That was then, this is NOW!  Let it GO!  I mean it…really, let it go for good and free yourself.  By doing so, you will be taking a huge step to living in the PRESENT!

 

 

 

RESOLVE TO REDUCE THE CLUTTER

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

It’s mid January – have you resolved to reduce/eliminate the clutter in your life? If so, congratulations! If not, what is holding you back from doing so?

With the month halfway completed, February is right around the corner and before too long we will be seeing signs of spring. Do you want to go into another season with clutter hanging around?

Now I’m asking you these questions not to get you worried or anxious, but to help you see that procrastination can be your enemy, not your friend. The longer you wait the more difficult it becomes. This is true with many things, not just clutter. And by the way, just to be clear, I am referring to all types of clutter that can affect your body, mind and environment.

I would love to set up an initial conversation to discuss how I might be able to help you sort it all out. Feel free to reply with your challenges, struggles, and anything else you care to share. I will review your comments and be in touch shortly.

Remember, don’t wait…because time waits for no one.

THE SECRET TO LETTING GO (WHEN YOU’RE HOLDING ON TOO TIGHT)

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

THE SECRET TO LETTING GO (When You’re Holding On Too Tight)

It’s been said that, “nothing lasts forever.”  Perhaps that’s why we desperately hold on so tight.

We know there is a cycle to life; that our youth vanishes, our children grow up, our parents age, and one day we will pass on.  Yet, we try to hold on even tighter.

Of course, the more we hold on, the more pain we feel as things fade, disappear, and die around us. And sometimes the tighter our grasp, the more these things happen.

Think about this in the context of a relationship.  Imagine someone who is exceptionally clingy. They are so preoccupied with all the terrible things they think can go wrong, that they miss the opportunity to fully love.  Eventually, the relationship has no recourse but to end.

What about the person who holds on for dear life to their physical things? Instead of enjoying and making use of what they already have, they are too busy acquiring more out of fear something will happen to their existing stuff.  Control now replaces the caring of their things.

If we probe further, there is usually a story that is deeply connected to why we insist on holding on so tight.  A story, no doubt, that could benefit from healing.
The secret to letting go is believing that you will be okay once you do.  I understand this is easier said than done. But it’s the truth.
If you knew for certain that all would be okay if you let go, would it make a huge difference in your life?  I’m sure it would.   I say this with confidence because I am living it.
In my upcoming tel-class I will be sharing with you how I got through the most difficult of times and how you can too.
I will also be inviting you to a workshop that I am hosting in January of 2018.  My goal is to prepare you now so you can schedule your plans accordingly to attend this ground-breaking event.
Please join me in this upcoming tel-class to learn more!

They say that laughter is the best medicine.  I couldn’t agree more.

Earlier this morning I was getting myself all worked up about something and was feeling overly stressed.  The stress weakened my confidence and I started to hear the voice of that little gremlin that comes out every now and then.  When my gremlin makes an appearance, that little rascal puts on a mighty powerful show.  She likes to take hold of my ear and remind me of all the things that I worked so hard to reverse and/or let go of in my life.

Every now and then if I’m disconnected from my “self” she likes to whisper little untruths to me.  And if I don’t put a stop to her nonsense right away, her whispers quickly can turn into a loud voice that almost has an echo effect.  It’s as if I hear in multi-dimensional voices shouting all the things that tell me, ‘I’m not good enough’ or ‘It’s not good enough.’

But for some reason, when I heard her voice this time, I found it very funny.  And the more I thought about it, I started to LAUGH.  The next thing I knew, I was laughing out loud until tears were rolling down my face.  You see, I was laughing at myself.  How silly was I to even think these things and let them get the best of me.  The thought of me listening to that gibberish and allowing myself to be full of  fear, worry, and doubt created such an anxious state of mind that I really had to look at this from a different perspective.  And when I did, I just started to LAUGH.

 

The more I laughed, the more I thought about the word LAUGH and what it stands for.  I understand that laughing is an expression of amusement but this was so much more.  What I was really curious about was, ‘What was the message behind my fit of laughter?’  And then in my mind’s eye I looked at the word LAUGH and there it was.

L = Look

A = At

U = Us

G = Getting

H = Happy

Think about it.  As a society we are always on the go.  We tell ourselves that we have to be better and do better – that our best is not enough.  That’s simply untrue!  As long as we know that we are giving our best and doing our best that should be plenty.

Look, I’m all about productivity and efficiency.  Seriously, it’s what my career has been all about.  But when I saw the humor in how we work ourselves up into this hyper state of over thinking everything to the point of almost pure insanity and detachment of our true self, I found that it was necessary to take a big step back and give this the attention it deserves.  I had to ask myself,  ‘What did I just learn about myself here?’

From this experience I came away with a few things…

Laughing kicks in all those wonderful endorphins that make us happy and can transform our mood immediately.  After all, who doesn’t want to feel happy?  Laughter allows for us to be forgiving of ourselves and yes, others.  I also learned that I don’t have to take life so seriously.  I can ease up and be gentle with myself.  It’s super important to be your own best friend. We’re not always going to please everyone and that’s okay.  Slow down and give yourself permission to breathe. We do our best work when we remain calm.

And most importantly, life is good, so love yourself in this life and always remember to LAUGH.  It is the best medicine out there!
